I want to make an application in order to draw forms (rectangle, line, square, arrow) like in paint using Java SWT Canvas. I'm using mouse events (Up, Down and move) to get the canvas Y and X position. And i have a button for each form types that get canvas mouse position and draw the selected form using the mouse events. My problem is, when i draw the first form (Circle, square, line) everything works, but when draw the second, the first erase. How can I make the first form stay on drawn after redraw the canvas?
